My surgery was in April 2021. I’m still recovering. It’s been a long haul. My biggest goal was to stop deterioration, and the downhill spiral of symptoms I was experiencing by the time I had surgery. From that standpoint, it was a success. I haven’t gotten worse! I have gotten better but not as much as I secretly hoped when I was telling myself I just wanted to stop getting worse. The good thing is that my recovery has continued pretty noticeably now in my 3rd year post surgery. So, overall, I’m glad that I did it. Some people have a much easier time, others who I know have had more trouble than I. It seems to have a lot to do with our status going in.

How are you? What is going into your decision?
